If the (unmasked) device is active and is creating interrupts (or one interrupts was pending since the interrupts were disabled) then the boot process "ends" very soon. Once external interrupts are enabled, we land in -> do_IRQ -> call ppc_md.get_irq() -> ipic_read() gets the source number -> irq_linear_revmap(source) -> revmap[source] == NO_IRQ -> irq_find_mapping(source) returns NO_IRQ because no source is registered -> source is NO_IRQ, ppc_spurious_interrupts gets incremented, no further action. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior --- This solves my kexec problem I had earlier. I could disable the device in ->shutdown path but the device in question could been used in the boot loader. Usually one gets the "nobody cared" message for unhandled interrupts but in this (rare) case nothing happens and box stands still. arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c index 69e2630..ebb7e58 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c @@ -781,6 +781,9 @@ struct ipic * __init ipic_init(struct device_node *node, unsigned int flags) primary_ipic = ipic; irq_set_default_host(primary_ipic->irqhost); + ipic_write(ipic->regs, IPIC_SIMSR_H, 0); + ipic_write(ipic->regs, IPIC_SIMSR_L, 0); + printk ("IPIC (%d IRQ sources) at %p\n", NR_IPIC_INTS, primary_ipic->regs); -- 1.6.2.5
